That is essentially true; but I like to learn C.

Liu Shengyu recently put out a good article that’s done waves imho, where he describes his work as now becoming more like a mech pilot for an AI to program the actual work. Of course, actually knowing what we’re doing has marked benefits for the quality and speed of our work as mech pilots, but we’re still kind of being trained to be “mech pilots” when we only program via an AI

If the brainrot hasn’t been “emprically proven”, I’ve felt it from experience. Writing, coding, and other matters expressed in text often only improve with practice. At work, when I go a long stretch of time working on my projects by just conversing with a chatbot because I have something I can’t be assed to figure out that day, I find my skills degrade quite naturally for the next couple days after. It’s a normal phenomena outside of AI usage; contact books made people not have to remember phone numbers, GPS lets people not know how to navigate a place independently, etc. It’s honestly really reasonable that substituting one’s own judgement or skills for an LLM would naturally lead to a degradation of one’s own judgement or skills.

Ha! I’ve had this exact same experience!

Yiddish is funny as fuck, I’ve got a member of my family who married in that’s Jewish and I picked up so many sayings from them that I didn’t even realize was Yiddish until I was an adult

I’ve been playing DuskLight and it has been absolutely stellar lately, I’ve looked into other Decomps which would have an equivalently polished port on mobile but it seems that unfortunately dusklight remains in a league of it’s own for new in beauty, modern features, and absurdly good optimization

No, their politics are genuinely largely revolutionary and they uphold revolutionary politics, that’s awesome, its just that the party’s method of leadership and democracy have significant failings that prevent it from allowing the membership to enact any kind of popular will or vision. This stifling of internal debate and discussion has had negative ramifications for a long time despite the overall structure being largely positive and progressive; but I wouldn’t mark them as social Democrats. I think that term would lose a lot of meaning if you did and flatten it into something it isn’t.

No it’s okay, I really truly believe you gotta take the good with the bad but it’s disappointing to hear about your experiences as well, I’m sorry comrade and thank you for the kind words. I honestly think we just gotta keep at it, you know? I’m taking it slow but working with local disaffected cadre from this incident for us to enter back into realm of effective political action together

Can I ask what you’ve seen or experienced that supports the idea the PSL is moving in a positive direction with these matters? These things are never completely black or white, but my impression is that the national level has gone beyond the bounds of what can realistically be recovered from with this incident.

The biggest matter for me is not only that this is not being handled in a democratic manner with explicitly anti-Leninist practices being engaged in, but also that this has from my experience just further isolated the larger party apparatus and further pushed existing local leadership to take more of an unquestioning disposition, while effectively only elevating comrades to leadership going forward who approve of this manner of organizational practice.

I think that you should begin organizing and flexing the muscles anyway, because nobody is going to save you except for yourself; and waiting for other people to do the work that is necessary is not a sensible position. Previously, I would have incredibly highly endorsed the PSL because it was a good way to go from zero to hero in terms of organizing a communist movement; but now I feel like it’s the task of those of us in the struggle to reconstitute a new party, and that means that we can’t rely on simply waiting for something to arise and sweep us off our feet. I think you should engage or keep engaging locally, and actively help to foster a local ML pre-party cadre organization or league, and then help to ensure it can help lead to a larger national movement overall down the line

The PSL has confronted the latest allegations and continues to be a party working to improve itself, it’s processes, and it’s position in the US.

Look, I have to tell you, this is disappointingly not true. I’ve talked with comrades from many different branches and the response from national has been almost universal: in branches where they can, they have just been purging everyone who doesn’t go with this. Its absolutely shocking, but national has taken the stance and enforced the stance that local leadership must engage in 1:1 calls with comrades until they’re either aligned with the “party line” (that everyone concerned is a bunch of wreckers and that everyone should just move on), or to resign.

Absolutely amazing comrades have been thrown to the wind because of this. They have not been seriously grappling with their organizational issues, not hosting any kind of party congress on the matter or atleast allowing new leadership to come in, not allowing open debate and discussion, and elevating Eugene consistently while attacking and defaming Marissa consistently.

There’s some comrades who’ve carved out niches despite national that I truly respect, like @jack@hexbear.net; but my experience is is that these are the exceptions, not the rules at all.
